I Have A Problem

[GT4me]

I whent onto youtube and it said i had won a prize because i was the Western Australian winner. So is it real or is it some fake scam.

 

[ParkourVeyron]

Was it like a popup window?

 

[GT4me]

I don't think so. It said "Youtube winner."

 

[Crushed]

Did you type www.youtube.com correctly?

 

[GT4me]

Yes i did, Why?

 

[ParkourVeyron]

Yes i did, Why?

He's asking if you went to the actual website and not some look-alike.

 

[Crushed]

Are you 100% positive? Look again. Sometimes websites make domain names very similar to popular websites in case someone makes a typo...

And i highly doubt its real. The only thing you could do now is call google or youtube's support number.

 

[nick09]

It will be fake. Don't believe ads that say that you've won anywhere!

 

[GT4me]

I typed it in right.

 

[Crushed]

Oh? its an ad you saw on the side of the page? Of course its fake!!!!

 

[nick09]

The only giveaways you can trust are ones from well known websites(such as newegg.com). Youtube never gives stuff away.

 

[GT4me]

No, it covered the whole page. It doesn't matter now its gone.

 

[Crushed]

It was fake

 

[ParkourVeyron]

Now I'd recommend doing a quick system scan. 👍

 

[GT4me]

It sure was. The only person i would trust for a giveaway on Youtube is Jon4lakers.

This too. 100% fake, youtube gives away absolutely nothing.

This isn't my computer its my dads computer.

 

[ParkourVeyron]

This isn't my computer its my dads computer.

If you're on Windows go to Start>Search>Then type, "Defender">Click Windows Defender>Quick scan.

 

[GT4me]

It says that Windows Defender is turned off.

 

[nick09]

Then would your dad have a 3rd party scanner(such as avast, avg, etc...)? If not then download Avast and do a scan.

 

[lbsf1]

It says that Windows Defender is turned off.

Well turn it on then.

 

[Crushed]

This isn't my computer its my dads computer.

Even worse

 

[GT4me]

I can't the text is too small.

 

[Grayfox]

It says that Windows Defender is turned off.

That is a good thing

Well turn it on then.

Windows defender turns off when you install an anti-virus, plus it is also crap.

 

[GT4me]

So i'm safe from a virus?

 

[nick09]

Just perform a stinking scan already! You don't want a virus messing up your windows installation!

 

[ParkourVeyron]

Windows defender turns off when you install an anti-virus, plus it is also crap.

It's better than nothing.

 

[GT4me]

I'm guessing my dad has anti-virus on the computer.

I'm having a little trouble working out your problems still, could you perhaps provide a post with more than one simple statement.

 

[GT4me]

My problem was fixed so it doesn't matter.
